tracing: Fix invalid function_graph entry
When print_graph_entry() computes a function call entry event, it needs to also check the next entry to guess if it matches the return event of the current function entry. In order to look at this next event, it needs to consume the current entry before going ahead in the ring buffer. However, if the current event that gets consumed is the last one in the ring buffer head page, the ring_buffer may reuse the page for writers. The consumed entry will then become invalid because of possible racy overwriting. Me must then handle this entry by making a copy of it. The fix also applies on 2.6.30 Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org LKML-Reference: <4A6EEAEC.3050508@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
